Back in days of yore nearly thirty years ago, a math professor named Richard Garfield created a game to teach his kids math. Believe it or not, that's the real origin of Magic: The Gathering. It would become a highly addictive game that would allow its publisher Wizards of the Coast to dominate...

It's funny, but I remember seeing people complaining about chat (especially in-game) on the old Arena forums. While, I'm not a fan of in-game chance (too much chance for collusion), I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of "lobby" chat where folks can discuss strategies, look for direct matches and...

Well, there's a huge difference between playing paper at your local store where your opponent is across the table from you (and within a choking hand's reach) and online where you can hide behind an alias and monitor. You can play the same deck as all of the "winners" and feel no fear of...

/Begin Rant So, I finally got back into playing MTG:Arena and got a few cards from the recent sets and thought that I'd create a few original decks - unfortunately, I appear to be the only player that seems to enjoy doing that. I can count on one hand (after severing two fingers) the most...

This reminds me of a deck that used Pestilence along with Glacial Chasm to cause board wipes (and severe damage to opponent's life totals while leaving me relatively unharmed...good times...

Looking back on my old Goblin deck, I used to have a few Blood Moons in it to deal with my friends' Maze of Iths (Mazes of Ith?). Just keep making more goblins via Warrens and use the Goblin King/Blood Moon combo to swing for the win...

I'll be honest: I didn't know that Eldrazi Monument even existed - I've been out of it for a while...combined with something like Goblin Warrens that card would be insane...

Now, this might be bad if facing other tribal decks, but have you thought about Coat of Arms?

Everyone have a new year!

Yeah, thanks to the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine and the creation of Citizens' United it makes it too easy for the two party system to keep Americans firmly divided against each other when we should be working against the actual politicians...

Now, if only we had alternatives to voting besides two parties...

Have you tried adding Blood Moon to the deck? Back in the day, that used to be the ultimate killer when I got my Goblin King out...

Yes, that's the one. It's a little more expensive than Resurrection, but since it only required one white mana, it was easier to splash into other decks...

I forget the name, but there was a card similar to Resurrect, but it worked at instant speed - handy when you're being attacked and you can pull your favorite critter out of your graveyard with +1/+1. Good times...

That's about the size of it. That's probably why I never click on any of those "offers"...

I've gotten a lot of games for free due to my Mode/Current app giving me PlayStation Network credits. It's amazing how fast it adds up and you find yourself playing Skyrim without having to drop a dime...

One of the apps on my phone lets me make credits while listening to music/charging my phone (Mode/Current). Every day, I get bombarded with emails telling me how easy it would be to get "free" crypto. As much as I enjoy the word free, I know that it, too is an illusion...

I won't tell if you won't :D

I was going to suggest Gauntlet of Might (if you had it), but lo and behold, there it was...I would hate to face this deck in multiplayer... (and the title just brings back memories of "Inspector Gadget"...)

Yeah, that one! It's cheap and more or less keeps you in a nice situation while your opponent's deck reaches zero. It's not perfect, but can get the job done against critter-heavy decks...
